Detroit – In a way it was like the first day of school, and getting the same jittery feeling the night before.
Danny DeKeyser, who missed nearly all last season, was filled with anticipation all Thursday night.
“Up at 5:30 in the morning,” said DeKeyser Friday after the Red Wings’ first official practice of training camp. “I couldn’t sleep. I was excited to come of the locker room.
“I had jitters a little bit but it was a good thing.”
DeKeyser only played eight games last season before going down with a herniated disc.
